Lot of BSODs on devRant lately... Proud to have Linux in Italian airports <3

Airports. Please stop using decade old Windows computers. Regards.

What is this ?
U call this wireless security??

Anyway what is the best way of securing hotspots in the airports , hotels , ... ?

Yes, it is dumb that airports, stores, and hospitals run very outdated software, but imagine how hard it would be to upgrade all those machines, especially considering the programs that might not work well with never operating systems and the fact that staff would have to be trained all over again. Not to mention, most of these businesses and services can't afford any downtime and need to make sure that everything is compatible (so, update one PC, you have to update all of them). In theory, I am still a fan of updated systems, but then again, I have a 10 year old XP installation at home, which I've been preparing to reinstall for a year or so (don't really use that PC, but still)

Professionaly travelling the world sucks ass. It's loosing day and days on airports, railway stations, driving.... Then, completely exhausted, you must do your high-end job on command for a customer who already hates you from the moment you came in, because he knows your hourly rate.They do not realize it's the companies rate, not my wage. And when it's finished and running, it's considered normal...no need for a "thank you". Getting really tired of this shit :/

"Build an entire PoS system, from scratch, that will run in hundreds of airports around the world along with an accompanying back office. You have 6 weeks but 4 would be better"

Even for an agency this was an insane ask but they decided to only put myself, mid-level at the time, and a junior dev on the project.

Somehow we just about managed the deadline and the system has been up and running for almost 9 years now.

So the free WiFi at the Paris airport CDG bugged out for me earlier. Since it doesn't allow you to sign out, I had Schrodinger's WiFi as the login page said I'm connected but I wasn't (nothing worked).

Fucking hatttteeee airports... I'm a developer not in fucking sales.

My boss let's me fix bugs at the client

I want to buy a beer for everyone who developed the mobile pass app. Just breezed through immigration and customs without waiting in the 1 hour+ line. Technology wins. Cheers!

I'm so fucking amped about Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, I preordered the most expensive version because I want the Boeing 787 and the absolutely insane 40 handmade airports and sceneries.

There are many airports in Antarctica.

Be it public parks, or airports.
Be it people bitching about a perfectly good cup of coffee/chai or people snoring in a library.
If not for my earphones, I would be exponentially ineffective each day, and melt down in a blob of exhaustion.
I become such a infinite source of all peace after I plug my earphones in and it continues for some hours after I take them off.
